Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

On the 11th February 2015 I had a VP Shunt to help the fluid drain from my Brain as a Tumour (medulloblastoma) was blocking the fourth ventricle. The Tumour was successfully removed on the 12th of March 2015. Thirty sessions of Radiotherapy was to follow. The Brain Tumour and the Radiotherapy has left me with a Nystagmus (wobbly eye & double vision) in my left eye, poor fatigue, poor balance & co-ordination, poor sleep, memory loss and slow processing. But I'm still able to drink beer and eat food!

Thanks for reading my story and hopefully donating!
